Made with a GFK composite bar end with an rubber anti-slip insert. The bar end and support platform can be independently adjusted to suit riding position and style. Great for riders who get numbness in the palm especially over long distance riding.

"Commute 140klms per week and about 6,000klms per year on a hybrid. These were as replacements for the standard foam grips to try and reduce the regular numbness effect. I'd say they have reduced the occurrence by 75%. The design gives you 2 different grip positions to alternate with. For my size (178cm, med-heavy build) I have slightly smaller that average male hands, take medium sized gloves but XL in just about everything else. I picked the Large size grips and would not have wanted to have gone any smaller."

"Very dissapointed with these especially given the price. Two key reasons:

1. The velcro fastening strip that runs the vertical length at the rear of the overshoe is contoured to fit a calf and lower leg measurement that is almost the same diameter at the top (calf), middle (ankle) and bottom (heel), no ones leg is shaped like this. This makes securing the overshoe cumbersome.

2. The maximum fastening position at the top leaves it loose and water simply runs down your leg and into your shoes. (my calf diameter is 37cm/14.5 in). You would need min 40cm diameter lower calves to get enough firmness around the top to minimise water flow.

These may be ok for light showers but anything other than that is a waster of time. I ride 15klms each way to work and my shoes were 1/2 full of water within 10mins of riding in moderate rain.

I would have sent them back if the return postage from AUS wasn't so expensive

Better off spending your money on multiple pairs of cheap Chinese galoushes that only last a couple of rides with an elastic band around the top. Would still be cheaper and DRYER in the long term."

Pros: High Quality

Cons: Expensive, Poor Fit, allows water in through the top, not designed to follow contour of leg

"I brought this for a hybrid bike, the rear mudguard is great, however the jury is still out on the front guard which I didn't realise was for mountain biking as the front guard fits under the Down Tube and does not project over the front wheel. Seems to deflect most the road water away but at anything over 15kph you still get spray coming up off the front tyre."

"These are really great for injuries/bruises where you need to try and reduce the swelling the old fashioned way if you don't have a more modern ice pack. As long as you have a supply of ice found that this was actually better than an ice pack because you just refill with fresh ice and some water instead of having to refreeze the ice pack."

1. The length of the pump's hose needs to be about 20mm longer for use on long stemmed Presta values. When placing the pump on the ground to apply the mechanical benefits of the foot stand, the hose isn't quite long enough to prevent it from pulling the value attachment off centre from the value and losing its seal. It ends up being a 3 handed job.

2. The small threaded ring at the end of the pump's hose that attaches to the tube value can easily become loose through general vibration and if lost the pump becomes useless.

These to issues are a pity, because otherwise its a well made pump that is able to provide significant tyre pressure with less phyiscal effort, the later is due to the combination of the foot stand and the handle design."

"Only used once and it does the job well. Need to turn slowly and carefully so as not to place too much pressure on it, remember it's only plastic. Stops degreaser and muck covering you and all around you.

Time will tell on its survivability."

Pros: Lightweight, Good Fit

Patch Dimensions

What are the dimensions of the round and rectangular patches? I ask as I have found from past experience that many lower priced patches are generally smaller and you need to use multiple to properly cover a hole, so often better paying extra for large patches. thank you

Does it work with pannier rack?

I wish to know if this mudguard works with a pannier rack (for rear wheel). If not, what other brands would work?

If you pannier rack incorporates a solid horizontal top plate (carry rack), I would say no, or only have minimal effect as the top plate would be just as effective as a mudguard. My Topeak rack (similar to a Topeak Super Tourist Rear Rack) does the job. I bought a set for the front gaurd only and put the rear on the other half's bike which doest have a rack system.
